A Chief Magistrate Court in Iyaganku, Ibadan, on Tuesday ordered the remand of three key figures in connection with last week’s tragic stampede at Bashorun Islamic High School in the ancient city.
The individuals include Abdullahi Fasasi, the school’s principal; Alhaji Oriyomi Hamzat, the proprietor of Agidigbo FM; and Naomi Silekunola, the estranged wife of Oba Enitan Adeyeye Ogunwusi, the Ooni of Ile Ife.
Presided over by Chief Magistrate Olabisi Ogunkanmi, the court’s ruling came on Tuesday, following their arraignment by the Oyo State Police Command.
The proceedings took place under heightened security, with a crowd of family members and interested parties gathered outside the courthouse.
